Did Arcade Fireplace annoy some individuals by suggesting individuals gown up for exhibits on their 2013 North American tour, then stroll it again by saying the gown code was “tremendous not obligatory?” Sure. Is the band going for a redux of that very same controversy by releasing a message to attendees of its upcoming All the things Now launch present at Grand Prospect Corridor in Brooklyn asking visitors to decorate “HIP & TRENDY as if you’ll a live performance or night time out with mates” and prohibiting ”shorts, giant logos, flip flops, tank tops, crop tops, baseball hats, strong white or purple clothes”? Not precisely.

The band has responded to articles in regards to the gown code like these in Stereogum and Brooklyn Vegan to say that it was despatched out by Apple, which shall be live-streaming the present on Apple Music. That explains the bit about avoiding “giant logos”—commonplace follow for video shoots—though the “HIP & TRENDY” bit remains to be fairly embarrassing. Possibly these dorks at company in Cupertino have to be reminded each occasionally, however do individuals in Brooklyn actually have to be instructed to look cool? (We’ll go away that rhetorical query unanswered for now.)

The band hasn’t definitively said whether or not cell telephones shall be locked in Yondr pouches at some stage in the present, besides within the cheeky Twitter “assertion” beneath. However we had been at one of many Dave Chappelle exhibits in Chicago the place the know-how obtained considered one of its first take a look at runs, and we are able to attest that it wasn’t that large of a deal and essentially the most boring half was ready in line to provide the pouches again. Having a cellphone to stare at then would have been good.

Band has nothing to do with a gown code or taking individuals’s telephones. Should be an @apple factor. Possibly Black turtlenecks 🙂

If gown code is “hip and classy”, band members is not going to be allowed via the door…hip and classy individuals should play the music 😬
